But honestly the 2 tiles wide fast portion is really hard for me to be consistent in this portion
You will not be far behind, I just started last month and on the current month track my Fastest total 75 lap time is 7min 22sec with an average of 5 sec A lap. I had about 8 big wall crashes and that was about 10 secs faster than previous try with more crashes . Key I have learned is to not try and drive fast but to drive smooth without hitting walls.

So there are you two and the rest... So I will be part of the rest

Thank's Hayday and Malave for you input also... glad to see and know that they are not only superhuman guy in this Mini96 World Challenge... It give me hope

That ends up being a personal preference. I find Facebook easier to share pictures and have a one off conversation on, while the forums are better as a chronological record and easier to search. Some have a strong preference for one. I use both, each for what its better at. You need to be on both to get the whole picture and not miss anything.

Default F1 on mini 96

I wanted to post a video of the f1 of FB and photo here... I'm trying to run it this month in 2wd open but it's tough. Haven't and more than 5 laps before touching a wall. 8min time so far, which Iis way slower than box stock at 7.22. On positive side I was able to get a 5.0 fast lap which tell me it's possible to drop time if I'm consistent. I'm open to any input you all may have.

Here is my first Box Stock run on this layout. Plenty of room for improvement.


And here is my second run. I just let the motor cool down for 5-10 minutes and ran with the same batteries from the first run. Almost 4 seconds off already.

Poor_Boy and Traveler2, are either of you messing with ride height or tire diameter? Or just truing tires and running them down? Rotating them?

Most of my fronts are just the low profile PN KS or KSM some taped some glued and some just floating on the wheel. Many with wheels disks. Some of my cars I have to try many different front tires to find the perfect amount of steering without excessive traction rolling. Often this is unglued tires on disk wheels but not always.

Rears are almost always Marka 5, 10 or 15 and I just run them out of the package taped to the wheels but not cut.

Have been running ride hight as low as possible without dragging the RCP.

I try to switch the fronts side to side when a track has fast corners in one direction that cause uneven tire wear.

I need to level out my tiles to each other first. My ride height is a little high now to compensate for the worst M96 track RCP ever sold.
